Eric Cantor's worst nightmare

[B-Man]

well, i really should use an asterisk, because the people at this so-called "Republican"(*) convention aren't all so-called "Republicans"(*) because there appears to be very little room left in the so-called "GOP" (*) for dissent or discussion. the party, to me, has lost its way.

-- it says it stands for smaller government, and yet selects Mitt Romney.

-- it says it stands for a reduction in spending, and yet the vice presidential candidate voted to expand government spending.

-- it says it stands for bringing back a golden century without realizing what contributed to helping make the last golden century actually work ... and in part it were the rules and regulations put into place following the last Great Depression and war that followed.

-- it's a party that no longer stands for any type of compromise.

-- it is a party that once backed universal health care, but no longer.

-- it is a party the once helped own the center of the political spectrum, but has now appeared to have allowed itself to be bullied and hijacked into a one-note ideological corner.

-- it was a party that once stood for business, but has now selected three consecutive candidates who's track record in building business (and by that, i don't mean rewarding shareholders) and creating jobs can be easily questioned.

 

i can go on.

 

so i don't need to review or question what the Democrats do or don't do at their convention. in this nation, there is no second choice when it comes to me. and that's changed drastically over the past 30 years. the so-called "Republican" (*) party offers nothing for me to even give it one lick of consideration. it is against abortion, it is against equality, it has no semblance of a health care plan beyond privatizing it, it says one thing and does the other -- yes, much like the Democrats do.

 

the entire political system has been infiltrated by a paralysis of polarization, and it wasn't always this way.

 

and the way the so-called "Republican"(*) Party is structured today, i have the choice but to knock and criticize it, if it means helping start a discussion about where conservatives need to look beyond this election.

and some people here -- not you Chef -- certainly have the option to respond by questioning my leanings, attacking what it is that i do, without contributing to the discussion in attempt to extend what's been a maddening status quo.

i'm guessing that was before Paul Ryan lied and lied and lied. i have no trouble finishing second, if that's the case.
